About the Book:
#1 New York Times best-selling author Jo Nesbø delivers an electrifying stand-alone novel about a dark family secret that tests the limits of brotherly love.
In a rural village deep in the mountains, mechanic Roy leads a quiet, simple life, but when his little brother Carl, an entrepreneur, returns with a proposal for a grand hotel to revive the struggling town, dark secrets from their childhood threaten to resurface. As children, Roy defended his little brother against schoolyard bullies and vicious rumors, but his loyalty to family is tested when greed and betrayal saturate Carl’s plans—not to mention when Roy’s sister-in-law Shannon catches his eye. The farther he goes to protect Carl, the more Roy finds himself dredging up the town’s shocking past. And when the town sheriff starts looking into Roy and Carl’s parents’ tragic deaths, Roy will have to reckon with how far he will go to protect his brother.
